ALL I WANNA DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU

It was a rainy night when
he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella,
no coat
So I pulled up along side and
I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile
so we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name,
this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right,
is this love at first sight

All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will
You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel,
it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night.
Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me,
so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all
I left him was a note
I told him
"I am the flower you are the seed"
We walked in the garden
we planted a tree
Don't try to find me,
please don't you dare
Just live in my memory,
you'll always be there

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day,
we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise
when he saw his own eyes
I said "please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can"

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

Give it up for Dobie Gray!

*disembodied eyeballs in a jar*

thank u for this thread djp, i have a lot to work through

i've always liked this song for the lyrical twist at the end, which (TMI) relates to my real life a bit....

"I am the flower you are the seed"
We walked in the garden
we planted a tree

i feel like part of what's really embarrassing about listening to this song is ann wilson's totally sincere impassioned delivery of moments like "please please understand" like your voice and talents are way too good for this dreck

I shot water all over your face

you can imagine his surprise
I said "What the fuck is wrong with you?
What in that note was unclear?
MY VAGINA IS A GARDEN
This is why I left your dumb ass"

From the Dobie Gray youtube: " Legend has it that the song's writer (Robert John "Mutt" Lange) had actually offered the song to Don Henley, but Henley turned him down."

I can totally hear Henley singing this, btw.

welp after reading Lee's post I feel like a dick

sorry

thank GOD henley didnt creep me the fuck out with his version
ugh

gross

wow i might actually enjoy a don henley version of this, just because he's so much less likable than ann and nancy wilson

also so self-important

just realized that in the context of this thread "I feel like a dick" could be completely misread

Ann W. doesn't like the song and never performs it

welp after reading Lee's post I feel like a dick

sorry

no probs DJP, after reading my post I feel the same way....

Maybe she's singing to the song, like she wants to make love to the song and sings the song so well the song show it's "O*" face.

*oragsm

okay why the hell did they do what they did to the Dobie Grey version

when I was a kid Heart was my very very very favorite band, saw them on the Dog & Butterfly & Bebe Le Strange tours and had a lot invested in how much I loved them - they were some hard times for me in a lot of ways and Heart records & science fiction paperbacks were my greatest comfort. I jumped off when they started veering toward pop instead of rock and quickly became an adolescent who didn't listen to that kinda stuff but Ann Wilson's voice retained its ability to hook directly into my tearducts which is why I must confess to you my brethren and sistren that I once found this song hitting me right in the heart and I was like "wait, no, what the fuck, this is the corniest ever" but God damn if "just live in my memory, you'll always be there" didn't do the God damn job

So this song made love to you

and you made love back

*plants tree*

i love ann's voice pretty much all the time...i hate hearing her sing this horrible song because the words are SO baf, but I enjoy the sounds she makes nonentheless :)

lol DJP

*bad

i read that as so "barf" which is totally inappropriate

be real, the words are pretty baf as well

baffling, barfy, all of the above

worst thing about this song is as much as I hate it I am powerless against it's power to make me sing along :(

I keep imagining her driving down a rainy thinking "I'm not gonna pull over until I find a dude with no umbrella, I need the wettest man possible for this plan"

hahahahaha

Thanks! I now have the missing link I needed to connect this song to "Gary Gilmore's Eyes"....

"well, your father and I really wanted to have a kid but it was clear his sperm count was too low. So naturally, my best option was to pick up a lonely boy in the rain and have him impregnate me. Did dad know? Well, I'm afraid I've left that unclear."

When we were kids my sister sang the lyrics around the house as "All I wanna do is bring love to you - in your will, you told me to" for some reason

I also like that she told him "don't you dare look me up" but decided later to troll his neighborhood to go "psych you're a dad, my husband sez thanks bro"

yeah, i mean either

a) they received medical evidence of the issue and the dude was cool with her taking care of the situation her way or
b) she rightly assumed she was fertile and dad has no idea she's been trollin' for hitchhikers

Anonobro screamed "jesus christ, you're the worst!"
From deep down in my broken heart came "you weren't the first"

irony of this song is that IRL most of us wouldn't partake in the sort of random hookup described in the song without using condoms

Nelson should have done an answer song

scratch that, Warrant would have had more fun with it

Nelson kind of did do an answer song!

Here she comes, just like an angel
Seems like forever that she's been on my mind
But nothing has changed
She thinks I'm a waste of her time
There she goes, she don't know what she's missing
Can't she see I'll never give give up the fight
I'll do all I can till she understands my desire
I'm on the outside looking in
Let me into your heart - oh -
There's nothing on earth that
Should keep us apart
I can't live without your love and affection
I can't face another night on my own
I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone
'Cause I can't live without your love
So I wait, here for an answer
And wonder if tomorrow will be like yesterday
I'll keep holding on
But I can't go on living this way
I've been on the outside looking in
Bring these tears to an end - oh -
I realize there's no use for me to pretend
Oh yeah
I can't live without your love and affection
I can't face another night on my own
I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone
'Cause I can't live without your love
For your love... I'd put my arms around you
For your love... and find the strength to tell you

I can't live without your love and affection
I just can't go on this way anymore
As hard as I try there's one thing that I know for sure
I can't live without your love
I can't live without your love...

SHE'S MY TREE PLANTER

doesnt have the same ring

I looked at her soft eyes, cried "listen to me.
If you like the acorn, then stick with the tree!"

she's my fertile ground
takin' my seed to make the world go 'round

you know what, I'm stopping right there

You've shown me that something good has come from our freek'n
you may not love me, but i'm fighting for weekends

plantin on the front porch
plantin in the kitchen

Bring these tears to an end - oh -
I realize there's no use for me to pretend

I love that "oh." he just remembered there's no use in him pretending!

One of my very favourite bad songs.

I also like that she told him "don't you dare look me up" but decided later to troll his neighborhood to go "psych you're a dad, my husband sez thanks bro"

Hahaha

Man, I have always HATED this song, you don't even have to hear it, just seeing this thread has the chorus lodeged in my brain!

Also, this was one of the first songs I remember hearing as a kid and really listening to the lyrics and being "that's fucked up"

I said "please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can"

"Honey, how I loved your tiny cock!"

I assumed she meant sperm because otherwise that's an extra level of cold

I had no clue that Robert John "Mutt" Lange wrote this song but it makes totaly sense cuz it seems like a total dry run (I am so sorry) at Shania Twain

I looked at her soft eyes, cried "listen to me.
If you like the acorn, then stick with the tree!"

i have been laughing at this for an hour. i guess this song was worth something after all

Man, I feel like a woman
Who wants to have anonymous sex
With a man suffering from pneumonia

lool alfred bwahaha

Men with umbrellas/no coat
vs
Men with coats/no umbrella
vs
Men without hats

Man this song.

I remember when I first heard it I was sure it was a parody, but no. It was totally sincere.

From Wikipedia

but created controversy when it was argued that its story line might endanger women by encouraging them to pick up hitch-hikers.

Really? "I always thought picking up random dudes on the highway might be a bad idea but then I heard that Heart song and thought it sounds like fun!"-Women of the 1980s

it's stuck in my head now

PLEEEEEEASE PLEEEAAASE UNDERSTAAAAAAND

"I am the flower you are the seed"
We walked in the garden
we planted a tree

Also is Belly's 90s alt hit "Feed the Tree" an answer to this song?

lol VG, that got this stuck in my head:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3j8AiLnUyY

Only a few hours old and this is already becoming an ILM Hall Of Fame bad-song thread, right up there with "Into The Night" and "Friday"

We should poll these someday - best Bad Song thread

when her husband saw him pick up the the dude in the rain his first impulse was to run up on them and do a rambo. Whip out the jammy and flat blast both of them. But he didn't want to mess up his $3,700 lynx coat. So instead, he chilled...

hysterics

bwahahahaha omg

"you're just a squirrel...trying to get a nut!"

"that's right, I was!"

"...what?"

i am a garden, you are a seed
we walked in the garden, we planted a tree
play me

my god i never knew what this song was about

one the great cuckoldry ballads

I reread those lyrics and thanks to the coda I have Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" stuck in my head

god this story is perverse, mutt lange is disgusting
